1. Teacher as Performer

2. Teachers Need to Know Their Audience Not all students learn the same way Not all students want to learn your subject Not all students have the same culture/morals/method of communication … it is the teacher’s job to accommodate these differences

3. Teachers Need to Improvise Not every lesson will succeed No two classes are the same Everything that can break, will … it is the teacher’s job to stay on course and adapt to changes.

4. Teachers Need to Learn Their Lines Students know when a teacher is desperate Students need a structure and routine A well-planned lesson is the best defense … a class is only as strong as the teacher who leads it.
